or you can use just the first two files, and the base1_1.tgz file, which must be in either / or an immediate subdirectory. IE, if you will keep a dos partition, leave the file in c:\, and mount c:\ as /dos (or whatever) > Everything else is installed from a local disk partition, or an NFS > mounted partition, or from CD, or via FTP (for this you will need > dpkg-ftp which I think is in the tools directory). you no longer need dpkg-ftp; it (or at least enough of it) is included in the 5 disks/ 2disks+file. (note: for versions prior to tomorrows, there are about 5 missing files, so it doesn't work unless you install perl, or add these five files. I manually added them, confirmed that worked, and Bruce is adding them.)
